Bell won't Ring - Okumura-Yuki Monaco

[VentureForth]

Hey y'all. Not new to pachinko, but new to this forum. I tried to do a search but came up empty. First, it looks like there are a bazillion different "Okumura-Yuki" Monaco machines out there. I have attached a photo of the back of this unit.

It's a 70's vintage for sure.

Behind the JPS is a bell. It seems to be the bell that the balls that come through hit on the way to the upper tray. However, all the winning balls are coming out into the tray with none ever hitting the bell.

After taking it apart, there doesn't seem to be any thing missing - all screws are set and the ball path grime seems to show good pattern. I think someone may have de-modded the bell for their own sanity, but I'd like to figure out how to make it work.

Any help would be appreciated.

Attached is a closer image of the ball slide. The white plastic wedge separates some of the balls to the left and most to the right. Only, all the balls go to the right and none go to the bell. I can't see that any plastic is missing or broken, and I see no adjustments.

Hello,

Sorry it's not a model or layout that I am familiar with, so i cannot offer any technical advice, however i believe we have the largest community of pachinko collectors / restorers here at PachiTalk and I'm sure there will be Members familiar with this manufacturer / model that can offer correct operating advice to you

In the meantime, welcome to PachiTalk

You are missing the bell it looks like to me. it is attached to a metal bracket. Here are pictures of one of my Okumura-yuki machines. if you browse through them, you can see where the bell should be and what it looks like.

before you ask, I don't have an extra, however, I might be able to manufacture one for you that would work. contact me via email if interested. Vintage Pachinko - Contact Us
